Description

201105256 九、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係關於菸製品用之多組件濾嘴,以及關於包括 該多組件濾嘴之菸製品。 【先前技術】 帶濾嘴香菸典型地包括以包捲紙(paper wrapper)捲繞 之薛絲塡料桿(rod of tabacco cut filler,又稱爲捲薛桿)’ 及與該捲菸桿以尾對尾(end to end)關係對準且藉由水松 ® 紙(tipping paper)裝接於該捲薛桿上之圓筒狀濾嘴。通常在 沿著濾嘴之一位置,提供呈沿圓周之穿孔(circumferential perforation)之形式之排氣,以將捲菸桿燃燒時產生之主流 菸氣與周圍空氣混合。 在一般帶濾嘴香菸中,濾嘴通常由包捲於多孔性插塞 包捲材中之纖維素乙酸酯絲束(tow)插塞(plug)所構成。然 而,已知亦有具有多組件濾嘴之濾嘴香菸,其包括二個或 多個過濾材料,以去除主流菸氣之顆粒及氣體成分。爲加 〇 強捲菸桿(wrapped tobacco rod)燃燒時產生之主流菸氣之 風味,已知亦可提供具有含風味劑之濾嘴之帶濾嘴香菸。 因此期待提供一種菸製品(例如香菸)用之多組件濾 嘴,當消費者從可抽吸物質桿經濾嘴抽吸時,其於使用期 間可改良對主流菸氣之風味補強。 【發明內容】 依照本發明,提供一種菸製品用之多組件濾嘴,其係 包括:口端段;在口端段上游之包括植物葉片之第一風味 201105256 釋出段;以及在第一風味釋出段上游之包括過濾物質及風 味劑之第二風味釋出段,其中第二風味釋出段之抽吸阻力 大於第一風味釋出段之抽吸阻力,以及第二風味釋出段之 抽吸阻力大於口端段之抽吸阻力。 【實施方式】 在本說明書全文中,「上游」及「下游」係用於說明使 用時,相對於從可抽吸物質桿經多組件濾嘴抽吸出之主流 菸氣之方向,本發明之多組件濾嘴各段之相對位置。 〇 使用時,由於主流菸氣係從可抽吸物質桿經多組件濾 嘴而抽吸出,因此風味由第二風味釋出段中之風味劑釋放 於主流菸氣中。由於主流菸氣係從第二風味釋出段經過多 組件濾嘴通向下游,朝向其口端段,更多風味從第一風味 釋出段中之植物葉片釋放於主流菸氣中。本發明之多組件 濾嘴,可有利地對經該多組件濾嘴所抽吸出之主流菸氣提 供雙重風味強化。 本發明之多組件濾嘴之外部直徑以在約5mm及8.5mm Ο 之間爲較佳,而以約7.8 mm爲更佳。 本發明之多組件濾嘴之總長度以在約24mm及約48mm 之間爲較佳,而以約34mm爲更佳。 本發明之多組件濾嘴之對抽吸之總包封抽吸阻力 (RTD),依據 ISO 6565: 2002 量測,以在約 lOOmmWG(水 柱壓力計)及18 0mm WG之間爲較佳,而以約140mm WG 爲更佳。 該口端段以具有實質上無粒子相過濾效率或極低粒子 .201105256 相過濾效率爲較佳。例如,該口端段可包括纖維素材料, 諸如纖維素乙酸酯絲束,或其他低過濾效率之適當纖維材 料。另一方面,該口端段可由位於該多組件濾嘴之口端之 中空管或凹處(recess)組成,其實質上無過濾效率。在本發 明之多組件濾嘴之口端段爲中空管或凹處之情況,當藉由 例如水松紙將該多組件濾嘴裝接於可抽吸物質桿形成菸製 品時,可形成口端段。 該口端段具有之抽吸阻力,依據ISO 6565:2002量測, Ο 以約20mm WG或以下爲較佳。 該口端段之長度以在約3 mm與約12 mm之間爲較佳, 而以在約6mm與約8mm之間爲更佳。 當口端段包括中空管或凹處,該口端段之長度以在約 3mm與約4mm之間爲較佳。 口端段係用以平衡本發明之多組件濾嘴之總抽吸阻 力,以達到包括該多組件濾嘴之菸製品所需求之總抽吸阻 力。例如,在口端段包括纖維素乙酸酯絲束插塞之情況, 0 可選擇每一纖絲之丹尼値及絲束之總丹尼値,以達到該多 組件濾嘴所需求之總抽吸阻力。其中以該口端段包括纖維 素乙酸酯絲束插塞,且該纖維素乙酸酯絲束具有每一纖絲 約5或以上之丹尼値。 第一風味釋出段可包括任何能將風味釋放至經多組件 濾嘴抽吸出之主流菸氣中之植物葉片。 該植物葉片以碎裂、切割或其他方式減少尺寸爲較 佳。其中以將該植物葉片細切爲更佳。又,該植物葉片以 201105256 具有約0.4mm之切片寬度爲特佳。 該植物葉片以經乾燥爲較佳。又,該植物葉片之水份 含量以約1 5重量%或以下爲更佳。 第一風味釋出段可包括一種或多種植物之葉片。例 如,該第一風味釋出段可包括菸草或草本植物葉片或其等 之混合物。其中以該第一風味釋出段包括來自一種或多種 植物之葉片,該植物具有乾燥後約lcm寬及3cm長之葉片 爲較佳。 〇 該第一風味釋出段以包括選自菸草、綠茶、歐薄荷、 月桂樹、桉樹、羅勒(basil)、鼠尾草、馬鞭草(verbena)及 龍蒿(tarragon)所組成之群組之植物葉片爲較佳。該第一風 味釋出段以包括菸草爲更佳,而以包括東方菸草爲最佳。 該第一風味釋出段之長度以在約6mm與約12mm之間 爲較佳,而以在約6mm與約l〇mm之間爲更佳。 該第一風味釋出段可包括施加有含例如糖類或濕潤劑 之外層之植物葉片。 〇 第二風味釋出段可包括任何能將風味釋放至經多組件 濾嘴抽吸之主流蘇氣之風味劑。該第二風味釋出段以包括 液體風味劑爲較佳。 該第二風味釋出段以包括纖維過濾材料及液體風味劑 爲較佳’而以纖維狀纖維素過濾材料及液體風味劑爲更 佳’以纖維素乙酸酯絲束及液體風味劑爲最佳。 該風味劑可爲天然或合成者,且該第二風味釋出段可 包括一種或多種不同之風味劑。例如,該第二風味釋出段 201105256 可包括一種或多種精油、含油樹脂(oleoresins)、淨油 (absolutes)、果實濃縮物、果實萃取物及蒸餾物。 本發明之多組件濾嘴之第二風味釋出段可包括各種風 味劑,該風味劑包括一種或多種風味成份以產生某種風味 類型。可包括於該第二風味釋出段之風味劑及風味類型包 括,但不限於,咖啡、茶、辛辣物(例如肉桂、丁香及薑)、 可可、香草、綠薄荷(spearmint)、歐薄荷、果實風味劑(例 如藍莓、蔓越橘(cranberry)、柳橙、桃子及草莓)、巧克力、 〇 薄荷腦(menthol)、桉樹、天竺葵萃取物、沉香醇(linalool) 及柑桔類。 該第二風味釋出段可包括由經液體風味劑浸漬之纖維 素乙酸酯絲束構成之插塞。該液體風味劑可在製造第二風 味釋出段時,藉由將液體風味劑於加壓下噴灑於絲束,或 藉由將液體風味劑注射於絲束中,而直接施加於纖維素乙 酸酯絲束流中。 在本發明之較佳具體實施例中,該第二風味釋出段包 0 括一過濾材料之插塞,該插塞包括一條或多條經液體風味 劑浸漬之線。該一條或多條線可由能吸收液體風味劑之任 何適當材料形成,包括但不限定於棉花、纖維素乙酸酯、 縲縈或其他紡織或非紡織材料。該一條或多條線以由棉紗 或纖維素乙酸酯紗形成爲較佳。 適用於本發明多組件濾嘴之包括載有風味劑之線之濾 嘴插塞,以及形成此種插塞之方法及裝置記載於美國專利 第4,281,671號及7,074,170號,且可得自美國Filtrona公 201105256 司(位於美國維吉尼亞州Richmond市)。 該第二風味釋出段較佳包括含有單條經液體風味劑浸 漬之線之過濾材料插塞。不過,該第二風味釋出段可包括 具有超過一條載有液體風味劑之線之過濾材料插塞。各條 線可經一種以上液體風味劑浸漬。此外,當該第二風味釋 出段包括具有2條或超過2條載有液體風味劑之線之過瀘 材料插塞時,該等線可經相同或不同液體風味劑浸漬。 在特佳具體實施例中,該第二風味釋出段包括纖維素 〇 乙酸酯絲束插塞,該插塞包括單條經液體風味劑浸漬之位 於中心位置之軸線。 由於主流菸氣係從可抽吸物質桿之點燃端,經過裝接 於該桿之濾嘴抽吸而進入消費者口中,因此該主流菸氣被 冷卻。在本發明之多組件濾嘴中第二風味釋出段係位於第 一風味釋出段上游,此有助於藉由第二風味釋出段使通過 濾嘴抽吸出之主流菸氣之風味強化達到最大化。 再者,使用時,第二風味釋出段之抽吸阻力與第一風 ® 味釋出段及口端段相較呈現增加,亦有助於第二風味釋出 段使從可抽吸物質桿經濾嘴抽吸出之主流菸氣之風味強化 達到最大化。 其中,該第二風味釋出段所具有之抽吸阻力(resistance to draw)(RTD),當依照ISO 6565 : 2002量測時,以在約 40mm WG與約100mm WG之間爲較佳,而以抽吸阻力約 70mm WG爲更佳。 該第二風味釋出段之長度以在約6mm與約12mm之間 -10- 201105256 爲較佳,而以在約6mm與約l〇mm之間爲更佳 本發明之多組件濾嘴較佳復包括桿端段, 括在第二風味釋出段上游之過濾材料,其中該 出段之抽吸阻力以大於桿端段之抽吸阻力爲較 有過濾材料之桿端段提供額外之過濾效率。 如前述,在本發明之多組件濾嘴之口端段 凹處之情況,當藉由例如水松紙將多組件濾嘴 吸物質桿而形成菸製品時,可形成口端段。所 〇 多組件濾嘴在納入菸製品之前可包括:包括植 一風味釋出段;在第一風味釋出段上游之包括 風味劑之第二風味釋出段;及在第二風味釋出 括過濾物質之桿端段,其中第二風味釋出段之 於第一風味釋出段之抽吸阻力,以及第二風味 吸阻力大於桿端段之抽吸阻力。 該桿端段之長度以在約6mm與約12mm之 而以在約6mm與約8mm之間爲更佳。 〇 w 該桿端段可包括任何適當之已知過濾材料 限於纖維素乙酸酯及紙。該桿端段以包括纖維 較佳,其中以纖維素過濾材料爲更佳,以纖維 束爲最佳。 該桿端段以復包括至少一種能從經由濾嘴 流薛氣中除去至少一種氣相成分之吸附劑爲較 一種吸附劑以選自活性碳、活化礬土、沸石、 凝膠所組成之群組爲較佳。其中該吸附劑以活七 該桿端段包 第二風味釋 佳。包括含 爲中空管或 裝接於可抽 以本發明之 物葉片之第 過濾物質及 段上游之包 抽吸阻力大 釋出段之抽 間爲較佳, ,包括但不 過濾材料爲 素乙酸酯絲 抽吸出之主 佳。該至少 分子篩及矽 ^碳爲最佳。 -11- 201105256 視需要,該桿端段可進一步包括風味劑。例如,該桿 端段可包括孔隙直徑在約2nm及約5 Onm間之中孔吸附劑 (mesoporous sorbent),其以液體風味劑噴灑或浸漬,因此 該桿端段不僅適合從由可抽吸物質桿經多組份濾嘴抽吸出 之主流菸氣中除去至少一種氣相成分,且適合釋放風味於 主流菸氣中。 在用於具有總焦油輸送量(total tar deli very)約3 mg或 以下之超低焦油濾嘴香菸之本發明多組件濾嘴中,以納入 〇 包括纖維過濾材料及至少一種吸附劑之桿端段爲特佳。 在本發明之一特佳具體實施例中,該多組件濾嘴包括 桿端段,該桿端段包括載有高表面積活性碳之之纖維素乙 酸酯絲束插塞。 不過,當本發明之多組件濾嘴被使用於具有較高總焦 油輸送量(例如,總焦油遞送量爲約6mg或以上)之據嘴香 菸時,該桿端段可被省略。 本發明之多組件濾嘴復可包括一個或多個額外之風味 ^ 釋出段,此等各可具有與第一風味釋出段或第二風味釋出 段相同之大體構造。 本發明之多組件濾嘴以最多包括五段爲較佳。 本發明之多組件濾嘴以最多包括三個風味釋出段爲較 佳。 本發明之多組件濾嘴可藉由下法製造:形成包括多個 單元之濾嘴各段之分開連續桿,繼而將此等連續桿以已知 之一段或多段方式加以組合’以形成包括多個單元之多組 -12- .201105256 件濾嘴之連續濾嘴桿。繼而將該連續濾嘴桿用裁切機構以 規則間隔切斷,得到一系列分立之本發明多組件濾嘴。

該可抽吸物質桿以用具有大於約1重量%之燃燒劑含 量(例如檸檬酸酯含量)之香菸紙包捲爲較佳。 參照附圖(僅爲例示)進一步說明本發明。 第1圖、第2圖及第3圖分別所示之本發明之第一、 第二及第三具體實施例之香菸,具有數個共同組件;該等 組件在全文中已被賦予相同之元件編號。 各香菸通常包括長圓筒型捲菸桿2,在其一端裝接有 © 軸向對準之圓筒型多組件濾嘴4。該捲菸桿2及多組件濾 嘴4係用水松紙(tipping paper) 6以一般方式連接,該水松 紙圍繞多組件濾嘴之全長及該捲菸桿2之鄰接部分。爲排 放以周圍空氣燃燒捲菸桿2時所產生之主流菸氣,在沿著 多組件濾嘴4之位置,設置穿過該水松紙6之複數個環列 穿孔(annual perforation) 8 ° 第1圖中所示之本發明之較佳具體實施例之香菸10之 多組件瀘嘴4包括以尾對尾(end-to-end)關係緊鄰之四段·· 〇 遠離該捲菸桿2之口端段12;位於該口端段12上游之第 一風味釋出段14;位於該第一風味釋出段14上游之第二 風味釋出段16;及位於該第二風味釋出段16上游之桿端 段18,該桿端段18鄰接及緊靠該捲菸桿2。 該口端段1 2包括具低過濾效率之纖維素乙酸酯絲束 插塞(plug)。 該第一風味釋出段1 4包括緊密充塡之細切菸絲。 該第二風味釋出段16包括具高過濾效率之纖維素乙 -14- .201105256 酸酯絲束插塞及載有液體風味劑之中央棉線2 〇 ’該棉線以 平行於香菸10之長軸之方式軸向延伸,穿過纖維素乙酸酯 絲束插塞。 該桿端段18包括具中至低過濾效率之載有活性碳之 纖維素乙酸酯絲束插塞。 在抽吸香菸1 0期間,消費者從捲菸桿之點燃端下游經 多組件濾嘴4抽吸出主流菸氣。當主流菸氣進入多組件濾 嘴4時,其通過多組件濾嘴4之桿端段18,其中該具中至 〇 低過濾效率之纖維素乙酸酯絲束部分可濾除菸氣中之粒子 相成份,且分散於纖維素乙酸酯絲束中之活性碳可濾除菸 氣中之氣相成份。繼而主流菸氣向下游通過第二風味釋出 段16,在該處該具高過濾效率之纖維素乙酸酯絲束部分濾 除菸氣之粒子相成份,且從加載於棉線20之風味劑釋放風 味於主流菸氣中。通過該第二風味釋出段16後,主流菸氣 進入第一風味釋出段14,其中風味進一步從緊密充塡之細 切薛絲中釋放於兹氣中.。最後,薛氣通過多組件濾嘴4之 ^ 口端段12而進入消費者口中。 第二風味釋出段16(在多組件濾嘴4之四段中具最高 抽吸阻力者)中纖維素乙酸酯絲束之高過濾效率,能使主流 菸氣中粒子相成份之過濾最大化,而分佈於桿端段18之纖 維素乙酸酯絲束中之活性碳能使主流菸氣中之氣相成份之 過濾最大化。同時,多組件濾嘴4中之第一風味釋出段14 及第二風味釋出段16亦對主流菸氣提供雙重風味強化,而 口端段1 2平衡多組件濾嘴4之總抽吸阻力,且因此平衡香 -15- 201105256 菸1 〇之總抽吸阻力。 第2圖中所示之本發明之第二具體實施例之香菸22具 有包括以尾對尾(end-to-end)關係緊鄰排列之五段多組件 濾嘴4。 該多組件濾嘴4包括與上述第1圖所示之香菸1〇中記 載之相同構造之口端段12、第一風味釋出段14、第二風味

The invention is further illustrated with reference to the drawings, which are merely illustrative. The cigarettes of the first, second and third embodiments of the present invention shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, respectively, have several common components; the components have been given the same components throughout the text. Numbering. Each cigarette typically comprises a long cylindrical cigarette rod 2 with a © axially aligned cylindrical multi-component filter 4 attached at one end. The cigarette rod 2 and the multi-component filter 4 are connected in a conventional manner by a tipping paper 6 which surrounds the entire length of the multi-component filter and the adjacent portion of the cigarette rod 2. In order to discharge the mainstream smoke generated when the cigarette rod 2 is burned with ambient air, a plurality of annular perforations (8°) passing through the tipping paper 6 are provided along the position of the multi-component filter 4. The multi-component nozzle 4 of the cigarette 10 of the preferred embodiment of the present invention shown in the drawings includes four segments immediately adjacent to the end-to-end relationship, away from the mouth end of the cigarette rod 2. Section 12; a first flavor release section 14 upstream of the mouth end section 12; a second flavor release section 16 upstream of the first flavor release section 14; and an upstream of the second flavor release section 16 A rod end section 18 that abuts and abuts the cigarette rod 2. The mouth end section 12 includes a cellulose acetate tow plug with low filtration efficiency. The first flavor release section 14 includes a tightly-filled fine cut tobacco. The second flavor release section 16 comprises a cellulose B-14-.201105256 acid ester tow plug with high filtration efficiency and a central cotton thread 2' carrying a liquid flavor to parallel to the long axis of the cigarette 10. The way is axially extended through the cellulose acetate tow plug. The rod end section 18 comprises a cellulose acetate tow plug carrying activated carbon with medium to low filtration efficiency. During the smoking of the cigarette 10, the consumer draws the mainstream smoke from the ignition end of the cigarette rod via the multi-component filter 4. When the mainstream smoke enters the multi-component filter 4, it passes through the rod end section 18 of the multi-component filter 4, wherein the cellulose acetate tow portion with medium to low filtration efficiency can filter out the smoke. The particle phase component, and the activated carbon dispersed in the cellulose acetate tow can filter out the gas phase component in the flue gas. The mainstream flue gas then passes downstream through the second flavor release section 16 where the high filtration efficiency cellulose acetate tow partially filters out the particulate phase components of the flue gas and from the flavor applied to the cotton thread 20 Release flavor in mainstream smoke. After the second flavor release section 16, the mainstream smoke enters the first flavor release section 14, wherein the flavor is further released from the tightly-filled fine-cut strands. Finally, Xueqi enters the consumer's mouth through the end section 12 of the multi-component filter 4. The high filtration efficiency of the cellulose acetate tow in the second flavor release section 16 (the one having the highest suction resistance in the four sections of the multi-component filter 4) enables the filtration of the particulate phase components in the mainstream smoke to be maximized. The activated carbon distributed in the cellulose acetate tow of the rod end section 18 maximizes the filtration of the gas phase components in the mainstream smoke. At the same time, the first flavor release section 14 and the second flavor release section 16 of the multi-component filter 4 also provide dual flavor enhancement to the mainstream smoke, while the mouth end section 1 2 balances the total suction of the multi-component filter 4 Resistance, and therefore balance the total suction resistance of the incense -15- 201105256 smoke 1 。. The cigarette 22 of the second embodiment of the present invention shown in Fig. 2 has a five-segment multi-component filter 4 including an end-to-end relationship. The multi-component filter 4 includes a mouth end section 12 having the same configuration as that described in the above-mentioned cigarette 1A, a first flavor releasing section 14, a second flavor releasing section 16 and a rod end section 1. 8. Further, the multi-component filter 4 includes a third 风味 flavor release section 24 located upstream of the first flavor release section 14 and downstream of the second flavor release section 16. The third flavor release section 24 has a configuration similar to the second flavor release section 16 'but however includes a low (rather than high) filtration efficiency of the cellulose acetate tow plug and carries a second (different) The central cotton thread of the liquid flavor is 2 turns which extends axially parallel to the long axis of the cigarette 22 to pass through the cellulose acetate tow plug. In use, since the mainstream smoke is sucked from the cigarette rod 2 through the multi-component filter 4, when the mainstream smoke passes through the third flavor release section 24, the flavor is released from the second flavor loaded on the cotton thread 20 to the mainstream. In the smoke. Figure 2 is a multi-component filter 4 of the second embodiment of the present invention which provides triple flavor enhancement when the mainstream smoke is drawn through the filter 4. The cigarette 26 of the third embodiment of the present invention shown in Fig. 3 has a five-segment multi-component filter 4 including an end-to-end relationship. Again, the multi-component filter 4 includes an oral end section 12, a first flavor-releasing section 14, a second flavor-releasing section 16, and a rod end section of the same configuration as described in the above-described second embodiment. 18. Further, the multi-component nozzle 4-16-201105256 includes a third flavor release section 28 located upstream of the first flavor release section 14 and downstream of the second flavor release section. In this particular embodiment, the third flavor release section has a configuration similar to the first flavor release section 14, but includes a second distinct closely packed finely cut plant leaf (e.g., green tea). When in use 'because mainstream smoke is drawn from the cigarette rod 2 through the multi-component filter 4', the flavor is released from the second plant leaf into the mainstream smoke as the mainstream smoke passes through the third flavor release section 28. Thus, the multi-component filter 4 of the third embodiment of the present invention shown in Fig. 3 provides triple flavor enhancement when the mainstream smoke is sucked through the filter 4.
